Chhapaak (also spelled Chapaak/ Chhapak, Devanagari: छपाक) is the sound of a splash. One could call chhapaak a splash, but more precisely, chhapaak is an onomatopoeia for splash, the sound when something hits a liquid.

The word Chhapaak is used in the Hu tu tu song 'Chhai Chhappa Chhai, Chhapaak Chhai' by Gulzar. Now his Meghna Gulzar's film made on an acid attack incident is called Chhapaak, the title likely coming from the sound of the acid hitting a face suddenly and changing the victim's life forever.
